"I absolutely loved my stay at Villa Elixir. This place is a gem in the heart of Fort Kochi. The moment you walk in, you feel the calm — beautifully designed spaces, spotless rooms, and a warm, welcoming vibe that instantly puts you at ease.
The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully put together. The bed was super comfy, the air‑con was a lifesaver, and everything felt fresh and well cared for. It’s clear the team pays attention to the details.
Breakfast was delicious every morning, with fresh local flavours and a relaxed atmosphere that made it the perfect start to the day. The staff were fantastic — friendly, genuine, and always happy to help with recommendations or anything you need.
The location couldn’t be better. You’re close to cafés, galleries, and the waterfront, but the villa itself stays peaceful and quiet.
Villa Elixir is one of those places you’re genuinely happy you booked. Amazing hospitality, great design, and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended."
"Tissas is a wonderful place to stay. Sanitha and her staff are very helpful. The room was comfortable and beautiful. The hotel is close to all of the attractions in the area. Meals were excellent. I would stay there again if I were in the area. Thank you Sanita!"
"Friendly staff and a nice spacious room. An excellent location and the adjoining cafe was excellent with wonderful staff who were most engaging.
However the building needed upgrading. Lots of minor things were worn or not working.
My room was not cleaned in 4 days.
The pool needed sweeping for leaves which I did. Small pool which felt abandoned but was a pleasure.
It’s a nice hotel but really needs a lot of small improvements.

"Absolutely lovely. By the seaside, in the center of town, walking distance to a lot of shops and restaurants.
Historic rooms and great historic sitting rooms and verandas. "
